Do you happen to have a copy of the activity guide? Or could take a photo? Only DVC resort we haven't been to is HHI! We live 1 hr from WDW so stayed at all and Aulani, Vero & Grand Californian and have first trip planned trip to HHI in Aug. We live in FL so numbers not good and neither SC so wondering if we should make the trip (6 hr drive) so any insight especially from a multi-time visitor would be appreciated!
We did not pick up an activity sheet this trip, but I believe there pictures of the current one earlier in this thread as they haven't changed the activities since re-opening on 15 June. The activities are limited to a few arts/crafts things (tie-dye shirts, pillow case, and a couple of more), and you can rent bikes, as well. The pool is open with limited numbers of people allowed in the pool area at one time, monitored by CMs. Still, the resort itself is a very relaxing place to be, and most of the yard game areas are open--you just have to ask the CMs for the items for each game (horseshoes, bocci ball, putting green, et. al.). Please keep in mind that the resort campus itself is a mask-on zone at all times except in the pool area just like the rest of DVC properties.
Outside the Disney bubble, there are plenty of activities to do around the island from dolphin tours, to parasailing, to kayaking, biking, miniature golf, historical tours, and the beach, naturally. As you are likely aware, Disney has a beach house 1.5 miles from the main resort, and they provide a free shuttle between the two, though it will only carry a few people at a time given social distancing protocols. However, you can walk, bike, or drive on your own, though the parking area at the Beach House is limited, so go early if you drive. It's a public beach there, but there is a private entrance to/from the beach at the Beach House, as well as public access right beside it. There is also a pool at the Beach House.
The numbers in SC, as a whole, are a bit better than in FL. HHI itself began a mandated mask wearing in stores, shops, restaurants, etc. a couple of Mondays ago after the virus numbers began to spike. When we were here on DHHIR's opening day for a week, few people outside the Disney resort wore masks. Now, to go inside pretty much anywhere on island, you're required to wear a mask. We're Maskers, anyway, so are completely in tune with that mandate. Hopefully, this will provide you some peace of mind should you decide to make the trip. I have a daughter who lives in Melbourne, and so I'm well aware of the relative craziness associated with FL's numbers and response. You don't get that same level of angst while on the island. Best wishes on your decision!
Will monitor Covid over the next month. We are mask wearers, so that will not be an issue for us. Hoping that the pool hours change, 10am seems very late!
